Question

Taking into account the above, considering multi-atom structures must be more complicated, right? After all, some molecules(like proteins) have thousands of atoms in them. However, this is not the case. If we categorize nonpolar bonds as capable of induced dipoles, polar bonds as capable of permanent dipoles and ionic bonds as capable of generating ions, the number of possible supramolecular interactions is limited to the crossed variations thereof. For instance, an ion can interact with another ion, a permanent dipole or an induced dipole. Use the table below to cross each type of polarity with each other and discover the six supramolecular interactions.

Explanation / Answer

Induced dipole - Induce dipole molecular interaction

Induced dipole - Permanent dipole molecular interaction

Induced dipole - Ion molecular interaction

Permanent dipole - Permanent dipole interaction

Permanent dipole - Ion interaction

Ion - Ion interaction
